Call for Articles

The Process

1 Submit an Article

To begin the process, submit your complete article. You will also need the following: short and long descriptions, keywords, focus, themes, and biographical information.

If your article is an extension of a presentation from the International Conference on e-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies and your presentation proposal has been reviewed and accepted, you can move directly to the next step.

2 Gather Feedback

At this point, your complete article will receive an initial editorial check.

Next, your article will move into the peer-review phase. This process is anonymous—we do not provide identifying information about the author or reviewers. (Please be sure to remove identifying information from submissions, such as author self-citations.) Each article is assigned to two reviewers with editorial experience and/or relevant expertise. After your article is reviewed, you will receive the reviewers’ feedback and publication recommendations.

3 Publish Your Work

Once your article has passed peer review and is ready for publication, we will help you through the final steps to bring it to completion. Once complete, your article will be published in Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal. At this point, you may also elect to make your article available Hybrid Open Access.

Please note that while you do not need to be a member of the e-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies Research Network to submit your complete article, you must become a member and accept the standard Publishing Agreement for your article to be published. Find out more about membership to the e-Learning & Innovative Pedagogies Research Network.

Rolling Deadlines

You can submit your article at any time throughout the year. The rolling submission deadlines, corresponding with the publication of journal issues, are as follows:

Submission Timeline

Submission Round 1

15 January

Submission Round 2

15 April

Submission Round 3

15 July

Submission Round 4

15 October

Note: If your article is submitted after the final deadline for the volume, it will be considered for the following year’s volume. The sooner you submit, the sooner your article will begin the peer-review process. Also, because we publish “web first,” early submission means that your article may be published with a full citation as soon as it is ready, even if that is before the full issue is published.
